Let's get started.Motivated Sellers - OK, these people are like the holy grai There is a problem, someone is upset A Good Enemy does not avoid the confrontation, does not escape from your angry words, does not slam the door and/or rejects the whole interaction. A person who is a good enemy stays and listens to the barrage of accusations, ignores the dramatic way of message delivery, and listens instead to the hidden content (which could be frustration, a deep need for contact, or the desperation of loneliness) And then this person can say to you, honestly: Thanks for telling me this: I will try to understand your point of view as best as I can. What is the difference? A Good Enemy refuses to escalate, and listens. This kind of response does not attempt to avoid the confrontation: it intends to process it by different means.

Some people are so upset by the way things are said, that they don't pay attention to what is said: in this way, the rejection of the wrapping allows them to reject content.
